Made from Gamay and Pinot Noir - a good
easy drinking wine!

£13.00 |
Made from Gamay and Garanoir.
A very fine nose of summer fruits greets the taster. On the palate it is
refreshing and lively, with a lovely structure of red fruit that provides
a very pleasant finish.

St Saphorin 'Ballival'
St Saphorin AOC |
2002 |
£15.00 |
Made from Gamay and Pinot Noir.
This a serious red wine which will keep for at least 5years!
On the nose there are pure scents of red fruit which are also repeated on
the palate, followed by a meaty taste combined with subtle tannins - very
elegant.
This wine is ideal for fine cuisine, especially with red meats, game and
strong cheeses. |

This region near the Italian border is noted for it's Mediterranean type

These wines have a very different character to other Swiss wines and are
more akin to Pomerol wines from the Bordeaux (solid, round with strong
flavours - ideal food wines). |
